Cavalinho Rampante da Ferrari - O porquê

Alguma vez se perguntaram o porquê de o símbolo da Ferrari ser um cavalo a sacar cavalo? (que é como quem diz cavalinho rampante) =D
Caso ainda não saibam, fica aqui a bela da explicação:
The prancing stallion - Ferrari's famous emblem of a prancing stallion on a yellow background comes from Enzo Ferrari himself. He explains:

The horse was painted on the fuselage of the fighter plane flown by Francesco Baracca, a heroic Italian pilot who died on Mount Montello: the Italian ace of aces of the First World War. In 1923 ... I met Count Enrico Baracca, the pilot's father, and subsequently his mother, Countess Paolina. One day she said to me, "Ferrari, why don't you put my son's prancing horse on your cars; it would bring you luck." ... The horse was black and has remained so; I added the canary yellow background because it is the colour of Modena.
Tudo para dar sorte! O pobre do piloto é que não teve assim tanta sorte... =D
